whether the measure was intended to be
pacific or hostile, whether it was, in
effect, an invitation to negotl-
ate or practically a declaration of war.
There was no use in Disgusting the prop
osition. There was feeling OF irritation
(the real party in interest being Great
Britain and not Canada) which was
at any moment, if the present attitude
was continued, liable to lead to discomfort,
which might ripen into evaporation, and
this into open hostility. 1t was therefore
of very great Importance that, at the
threshold the Senate should understand
whether the bill was intended as pacific
or as a hostile measure.
He quoted some sentences from the re-
port of the Committee on Foreign Rela-
tions, and remarked that countries had
been inundated with blood on less provoca-
ton. The conduct of the Dominion
and Great Britain, according to this
report, was sufficient to justify and
warrant a declaration Of war on the
part Of the United States. 1t was a
violation not only of treaty rights (guar-
anteed by repeated conventions), but it
showed a purpose on the part OF the Gov
eminent of Canada and of her Majesty's
OOVefHInoHG 10 AdfdSS dHu hHhoy oAu uO-
stroy American fishing interests, simply
for the purpose either of private gain or of
some public advantage.
He thought that bill which simply au-
thorized. the President to adopt a policy of
retaliation was hardly consistent with the
gravity of the situation. He thought it
would be more in accord with the dignity
of the subject for the Senate to declare
that the relations between the two coun-
tries were such as to require negotiations,
and that there should be authority not to
issue letters of marque and reprlsal but to
select a commission to settle the subject
and to reach, if possible, an understanding
between this country and Great Britain in
regard to the fisheries

stoned speech, charging the Canadian au-

Of agriculture in the broadest sense Of
